I want to admire the stance regarding short term fixes, but in this instance I feel it's a dangerous & unnecessary gamble with our Super League status. We felt the need to strengthen last year when the competition was much weaker. If we lose Blair or Kelly to injury now we could be in serious trouble.

Pretty much everyone but you and salford who look likely to be in the middle 8's has strengthened in recent weeks. hudds and leeds coming into form too

Agree about Huddersfield. Took your lot at ease tonight. Just goes to show, miss a couple of good players within your team, and watch how ordinary you play.

Hudds only beat one man team in Hull Ellis doesn't play Hull lose or if there's any rain in the air

Been coming for weeks. Fail to turn up in this league and you lose. Simple as that. We had enough quality on the pitch tonight to win that game but our mindset and attitude was way off and we got what we deserved. Only positives were that the MOTM has signed for us and hudds go above you

tbh we got well beat tonight, looked shattered all match, its true take 4or5 big name players out and teams will struggle, but for me as I say we just looked tired, So lads up to you now to help us out,

If your looking for us to help you out your up creek

To be honest, you only had Shaul, Ellis and Watts out, And you struggled. Try and triple that amount of players out every match and in just as important positions, and you might come close to what we've had to put up with all season.

tbf we had yeaman out who has had a new lease of life and shored our defense up no end, also Pritchard went of early and didn't return, saying all that we looked flat all across the park, you have had your injuries but triple what we had out tonight who would be in the 15? mmmmm that's a lot

I said triple the three players you had out, and that makes 9, if my maths serves me right. And that's about how many we've had out every week. And your right....it is a lot. Glad you agree.

We had a big CC game last week and a shortish turnaround which had as much to do with the performance as the missing players. We've won plenty of games this year with as many and more players missing so no real drama for me and I'm sure we'll bounce back next week. Hopefully not pushing players to take teh field when they're not fit will help us in the run in

I'm pretty sure 3 x 4 is 12 but I didn't attend an east hull school. You haven't had 9+ players out every week anyway
